TRICK OR TREAT ON HALLOWEEN
by Ethel

When I was just a little girl
we loved Halloween
We'd dress all up in our costumes
the cutest you'd ever seen

Goblins and witches, Supermen and Angels
sometimes a cute litlle clown
If around you would look you might even
see a little Charlie Brown

We would go to all the houses in
the neighborhood
Oh, the nice treats they would fix
for us were so good

Candy apples, popcorn balls, just all
kinds of good treats
Our Mothers would check out our bags
but only to limit our sweets

We all had a lot of innocent fun, to be afraid
of our treats not ever
That was a while back, I'm talking about, then
some bad folks tried to be clever


Now even if the kids get to go trick or
treat in this sad day
Their parents have to check the treats
real good, some even use an x-ray


You see, the cruel bad folks who thought
they were so clever
Into the treats put razor blades, pills,
just whatever

When this happens I just want to cry for
it is so very, very sad
That even trick or treat on Halloween had
to turn out to be often bad

(big hugggssssss) Oh Ethel, this is so very heartbreaking, sweet friend, I can't understand how some people can be so cruel to even children on what is supposed to be a day of innocent and friendly spooks, not evil suprises! (sad sigh) You speak of this so well, sweet friend, I miss trick-or-treating on Halloween so much and wish I could still do it but my parents won't let me, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Yes Ethel..things sure have changed.
I recall going from house to house without a care..
Now it seems it just isn't fair.
Good write!!
